HORSFALL TURNER, AUTHOR OF ** Nonconformity in Idel, with the History of Airedale College,^' FOUR ILLUSTRATIONS. BRIGHOUSE : J. S. JOWETT, ''NEWS" OFFICE. MDCCCLXXVIII. — 1512552 CENTENARY MEMORIAL OF THE BIRTH OF ABRAHAM HORSFALL, OF EASTRICK COMMON, (a poor MAN—BUT RICH IN FAITH AND GOOD WORKS,) .\this history of bridge end chapel— A PLACE OF ESPECIAL ENDKIRMENT TO HIM, HIS RELATIVES AND DESCENDANTS IS PUBLISHED BY HIS ELDEST GREAT-GRANDSON. Much of the material in the folloAA'ing pages was gathered before the MTriter had well entered his teens. As years rolled on he extended his enquiries, and matter accumulated to such a degree that articles ' were i^repared for a local newspaper. These ' Fragments of Local His- tory," instead of lessening the stock brought a large accession of more valuable data ; and he feels that inasmuch as fourteen years of his life have been spent at a distance from his native township, he will be jiistified in arranging his materials for a History of Hipperholme- cum-Brighouse, so that an abler person may take the field, in the same way that a Wright's Halifax was superseded by a Watson's. He flatters himself that he will be able to give the name of almost every person (not to mention family) who has resided in the township from 1300 to the present. These he has obtained from Manorial Eolls, Church Registers, and innumerable deeds. The proposed volume will embrace the annals of Coley and LightclifFe Churches; histori- cal sketches of the Friends, Moravians, and Methodists ; the town's officers for nearly six hundred years ; and material for pedigrees rang_ ing back to the immediate origin of surnames, and scores of other particulars. This, of course, means a large book, and the question arose as to the likelihood of a great loss. The present little produc- tion of Bridge End Chapel was decided upon for several reasons^ First, Bridge End Chapel is situated outside the above-named town- ship; secondly, the following pages condescend to chit-chat that would not be tolerated in a more pretentious volume ; thirdly, to be a means of advertisement and financial test; and finally, to evoke further notes on Hipperholme-cum-Brighouse. The portrait of Mr. Crisp is taken from one in the possession of T. T. Ormerod, Esq. Messrs. Goldsborough, Berry, and Co., Brad- ford, have supplied the illustrations, from photos by Mr. Manley, Brighouse. COLLEGE HOUSE, IDEL. March, 1878, COITTEITTS. PAGE.

Mr. Turner has taken much trouble to get all his facts together, and very interesting they are. Nonconformist history in Idle has been an honourable one His extracts relating to those times are curious, and they have the additional " merit of being very exact The Nonconformist. —E. Miall, Esq. " Of much interest to not a few of our readers. Mr. Turner has been careful in the collection of his data, and in the arrangement of his materials. ." Leeds Mercury. "Mr. Turner has in this little work collected together a number of valuable materials relating to the history of Nonconformity in Yorkshire. Both the tasks he has performed in a satisfactory man- ner, interspersing his story with a good deal of interesting documen- tary testimony. Mr. Turner has evidently had his heart in the work, and his taste for antiquarian research has been of great assistance to him. He has arranged his facts in regular sequence, and has not wasted much space in miscellaneous comment. Altogether, the work has special claims upon the attention of all those who are interested in matters of local history. ." Bradford Observer. ' ' You have done excellent service in collecting and arranging the memorials of Idle and Airedale College, for which I thank you. ." Bev. Dr. Waddlmjton, London, Author of " Congregational History." BEIDGE END CHAPEL. DIFFICULTY arises as to the most suitable title to be given to this little history, as Rastrick people are properly jealous of losing any honour due to them. The difficulty is not by any means a new one, for somehow the names Rastrick and Brighouse have been strangely interchangeable for many centuries.
